Smokey the CatCat in devil cape
Date: 06/21/2006
Smokey was four years old when he got this cape. He had never worn any clothing before, and kind of freaked out when we put the cape on. But this picture (of him sitting calmly on the dinner table) was just 10 minutes after. I guess he thought "okay...I've got a cape on...whatever...now give me some dinner".

He's wearing a Devil cape, and the glowing eyes in the picture are perfect!

Sassy the CatAngel cape
Date: 06/21/2006
Here is Sassy in her Angel cape (compare to Smokey with his Devil cape).

Spaz the Catloves clothes
Date: 06/21/2006
Spaz is the oldest of the three cats (Spaz, Smokey, and Sassy). She wore clothes as a kitten...maybe that's why the other two cats took to it so well...

Beaveras in Leave it to Beaver
Date: 06/21/2006
For my friend Jim - captain of his bowling team, and nicknamed "The Beave" (from Leave it to Beaver)...Can you imagine him in the bowling alley throwing strikes!

This came from a clear Bitmap file that we converted into embroidery for the cape.

My 6-year old nephew recently declared this his favorite cape!

Mr. EverythingNothing Less!

Notice how we stretched and stylized the word "EVERYTHING"...kind of like the Power Rangers cape.

Super Riley and his Sidekick Homerbased on self-drawn comic book of a 7-year old

The story of Super Riley and his Sidekick Homer...
Deena contacted us sometime in July 2005 about a Christmas present for her son:

My son writes comic books based on a character that he invented "Super Riley" (my son is Riley). He illustrates his comic books and they are really cute. I want to get him a "Super Riley" cape with his "Super Riley" logo on it. If I do decide to get one for his stuffed dog, would we be able to do a customized one for it too? (he is the sidekick "Sidekick Homer" in the comics).

She then sent us a crayon drawing of the two logos for Riley and Homer.

Riley told me after Halloween that next year he wants to be Super Riley. He said that we just need to find him a cape. Little does he know!

Based on her drawings, we designed the logos, digitized them, and embroidered them onto capes. We also made a princess cape for her three old daughter...

Thank you so much for the capes! They look wonderful! I know the kids will absolutely LOVE them! They are even better than I could have imagined! Thank you so much for the time and dedication you put into each one of them!

Grandma was writing a children's book with illustrations by several artists. Each of the artists went with their own version of what Sir Spencer and his dragon looked like. None of them were the same. Some dragons were cartoon-like and smiling, while other dragons were realistic and scary. The child reading this book will have to reconcile each artist's version of the characters...a unique idea to challenge any young mind!

This is our version of what Sir Spencer's dragon might have looked like...

Evil MastermindIn glow-in-the-dark thread
Date: 06/16/2006
We hadn't yet designed the "meaner" pirate when I embroidered this cape...So a happy skull and crossbones with a dark underbelly ...

The skull and the text are done in different colors of glow-in-the-dark thread. When it is dark, they both glow kind of green.

Super Queenfrom Red Hat Society

One of my first purple and red capes for the Red Hat Society.

Captain Circle
Date: 06/21/2006
Grandpa and grandson had this character they made up, and when the grandson was "Captain Circle", he would twirl around and around...

The whirlwind was designed in "Microsoft Paint" and digitized into embroidery for the cape.

Super RN5-stars for Janet!
Date: 06/21/2006
A 5-star nurse - we can put any vocation or hobby on the cape...

Super DanNo Job Too Small
Date: 06/21/2006
A woman got this cape for one of her volunteers at the non-profit agency she worked for. She told me that most volunteers lasted a few hours to a few weeks once they found out just how much work there was.

Dan apparently had not left, and did anything he was asked...thus the caption "No Job is Too Small".

Salmon Avengeronline gamer
Date: 06/21/2006
This was purchased for a man whose on-line gaming moniker was "The Salmon Avenger".

If you squint up your eyes, you'll see we designed it to be in the shape of a fish.

Ben's Robotbased on a tatoo...
Date: 06/16/2006
The story of Ben's Robot:

Ben got a robot tatoo, and his Dad and girlfriend thought it would be cool to get him a matching cape, since Ben was very proud of his tatoo.

We finally got a picture of his robot tattoo (attached) -- we'd like something like this, but it doesn't have to be the same pose, just the same feel.

The tatoo was a little difficult to turn into embroidery from the picture, so Dad came through and designed a robot:

I think the picture was taken at a slight angle, and his shoulder wasn't perfectly flat. I used the photo as a guide and created this drawing to give you another sample.

I think it turned out great! See the next photo for the original tatoo!

Ben's TatooBen's shoulder
Date: 06/22/2006
Ben's Dad or Girlfriend took this picture of Ben's robot tatoo on his shoulder.

Dad later sent a gif showing a robot with the same feel as this one...See the previous picture to see how it turned out on the cape!

Flaming-Ror melting R
Date: 06/16/2006
This 12 year old boy saw us at a show and thought all year about designing his own cape...A year later, he came back with his mom and had this design.

We've done Flaming Z's and other letters based on the original Flaming-R.

Frankie von Furteryes a Dauschand...
Date: 06/22/2006
Frankie's owners asked us to incorporate a hot dog onto their Dauschand's cape. Besides the hot dog, the cape was made extra narrow...

Super Kbe your own superhero
Date: 06/16/2006
Kathy had designed her own superhero emblem many years ago in college. She was thrilled to find that we could put just about anything on a cape so she could finally live out her dream and become her own superhero for Halloween!

Hebrew HeHala's cape

Not just in English! We can do the first letter of someone's name in ANY language!

This one went to three year old Hala in Israel.

Do Anything Guyall superpowers
Date: 06/16/2006
One day, this boy would have superpowers to see through walls, and the next day, he could freeze water with a touch of his fingers.

So his dad asked him "What powers do you have today, son?", and his son replied, "Oh Dad....I can do ANYTHING!"

Bottom Boyfor Halloween
Date: 06/22/2006
This was a Halloween costume for a woman who was going to wear some of those peek-a-boo pants and this cape, which went down to her knees and covered her backside.

When people would ask her "What's Bottom Boy mean?", she would flip up her cape to reveal her...er...well...her... bottom!

The Big Bow Wowhead honcho
Date: 06/22/2006
This was for a business owner...no...he didn't run a dog-grooming business, actually it was a window-cleaning service. Why Big Bow Wow? Who knows, but it's fun!
